Limestone Rock House
13 Lime Kiln Rd, Lamy, NM 87540
The home in Lamy, New Mexico, is quite unassuming from a distance, with minimal exterior features, including just a few windows, as reported by Curbed. However, despite its unassuming appearance, the interior of the house is surprisingly spacious.
Inside, you’ll find tall ceilings and ample windows that allow for plenty of natural light to flood the living spaces. The living room in particular offers panoramic views of the picturesque New Mexico landscape. While the house itself has just one bedroom, it also features two sleeping lofts, providing additional sleeping quarters for any guests you choose to invite to your unique stone-clad retreat.
Scorpion House
28023 N 96th Pl, Scottsdale, AZ 85262
A remarkable contemporary 4,700 square foot residence known as the ‘Scorpion House’, designed by architect Eddie Jones and constructed in 2001, has garnered significant acclaim, earning seven design awards, including the ‘Gold, Architecture under 5,000 Square Feet’ honor from The Arizona Home Book Design Excellence Awards. Furthermore, the ‘Scorpion House’ has been featured in various prestigious publications, such as Architectural Digest, Desert Living Magazine, and Arizona Home Book.
Architect Eddie Jones, in collaboration with Construction Zone, skillfully integrated poured concrete, glass, and oxidized titanium panels to create a curvilinear design that harmoniously spans the desert landscape, incorporating natural boulder outcroppings. This design ethos was aimed at preserving the pristine natural setting. As a result, the residence is now considered one of the most celebrated homes ever to be listed on the Scottsdale real estate market. The property is situated on a 1.14-acre lot within the gated Estancia community and comprises four bedrooms and five bathrooms within its 4,700 square foot plan.
Whale House
999 Andante Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93105
“The Whale House,” designed by Michael Carmichael and constructed in 1978, stands as an architecturally remarkable masterpiece, exuding artistic brilliance from its very inception. Nestled within the serene embrace of oak and sycamore trees, with the seasonal Mission Creek adding to its charm, this whimsical home is a true work of art. Its waving cedar shingled exterior seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious connection with nature.
As a dwelling that celebrates creativity, the entrance itself is a testament to its uniqueness. Step through the mouth of the whale and embark on an imaginative journey. The head of the whale encompasses three floors of creative genius. Features include a spiraling stairwell that opens up to the fresh outdoors, a rock-covered elevator shaft, 270 Belgian leaded and stained glass windows that frame the tranquil 360-degree views, undulating walls adorned with Venetian plaster, and massive wood columns and beams.
Within the belly of the whale lies a serene interior courtyard, complete with a peaceful bamboo-lined outdoor shower, ample space for entertaining and delighting guests, and a 75-foot sparkling lap pool that gracefully transitions into the grotto of the whale’s tail. To complete this mind-boggling residence, there is a guest house that adds to its allure. This home is a true testament to artistic ingenuity and a living tale of architectural wonder.
New American Show Home
Henderson, NV
Like other versions of The New American Home, this one serves as an innovative showcase for residential building products, emerging trends, and cutting-edge technologies in home construction. While it may be a show house, it was purposefully designed with specific buyer profiles in mind, catering to a range of potential homeowners. Despite its sophisticated ambiance, well-suited for its Las Vegas-area location, Element Design | Build’s project manager and architectural designer, Josh Moser, highlights that certain features, such as Jack-and-Jill bathrooms and a walkout basement, were incorporated to make the home family- and kid-friendly.
In a contemporary era marked by diverse buyer profiles and the prevalence of multigenerational living, the concept of “family-friendly” encompasses a wide spectrum of possibilities. It can accommodate various needs, from a home that suits an empty-nester couple who frequently host visitors to a residence shared by a group of friends who have pooled their resources to purchase a house together.
